They Are Gone (documentary)

They Are Gone film by Jon Decker In Montana, Native Americans make up less than 8% of the state's population, but account for over 26% of missing persons. They Are Gone looks to collect the stories and perspectives from Native families affected by this epidemic. The film premiered in October, 2021 on screen at the Big Fork Independent Film Festival, and won second place in the documentary category feature. They Are Gone was also featured digitally in the Bozeman International Film Festival, the Global Peace Film Festival, and will premiere once more in person at the upcoming Winterland Film Festival from Sept. 22-25 2022. Thank you to every donation that made this possible, and the Native families that agreed to participate in this film. Making this documentary was the experience of a lifetime. The stories I heard changed me forever, and I am hoping that by sharing this piece with the world, others can be made aware of this issue.
